IMPROVE!) GRATER.

The Schedule referred to in these Letten Patent `and making part of the same.

To all '1t-hom it may concern Be it known lthat we, WARREN KrNYoN and'JoHN MAXSON, of Scott, in the county of Cortland, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Vegetable-Grater; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part ofthis specification.

Figure 1 is a side view of our improved machine, part being broken away to show the construction.

Figure 2 is a top view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Our invention has for its object to furnish an improved machine designed especially for grating car-` rots for coloring butter, but which may be used with equal advantage for grating other kinds of vegetables; and

It consists in the construction and combination of the various parts ofthe machine, as hereinafter more fully described.

A represents the board or bed-plate to which the various parts of the machine are attached.

B is the grating-cylinder, the teeth of which are formed by cutting out and striking up small semi-circular pieces of the plate which forms said cylinder.

The cylinder B is securely attached to the shaft O, which revolves in bearings attached to the arms of the recessed end of the bed-plate A.

To one end of the shaft-O is attached a small gear wheel, D, into the teeth of which mesh the teeth of the large crank gear-wheel E, the journals of which revolve in hearings attached to the bed-plate A.

F is the hopper, the endsof which are slotted to pass down over the ends of the cylinder-shaft C, as

rounded out or concaved to receive and support theA carrot being grated.

The rest-block H is adjustably secured to the ends of the hopper F by pins I, which pass through holes in the said ends of the hopper and into one or the other of the holes in the said rest-block to adjust it to the cylinder B.

Having thus described our invention,

What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

An improved vegetable-grater formed by the combinatiou of the bed-plate A, grater-cylinder B, shaft C, small gear-wheel D, crank gear-wheel E, removable hopper F, and adjustable rest H, with each other, said parts being constructed and arranged substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
